I think the article is a little sloppy in its formatting. Basically everything about Futurist food is placed under the "history" heading. I'll come back through with formatting suggestions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falijah (talk • contribs) 13:58, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sort of like they were predicting the rise of fast food[edit]
I was reading this article and a couple of things here predicted the rise of fast food. Like futurist meals, fast food has no knife or fork and there is usually no pasta dish in a fast food meal. So the people who predicted this meal to become a reality was probably predicting the staple food items of places like McDonald's and Burger King. There are no foreign dishes in a McDonald's meal and foreign words are rarely used to describe the food being served. It amazing how a bunch of Italian futurists suggest something that sounds like American fast food (even though they wouldn't like American fast food because it was "foreign.")

But Wendy's has the boneless chicken wings. In a certain way, Wendy's has pioneered the futurist meal by providing what could possibly be described as a "prototypical version of an in vitrochicken wing" because all in vitro meat products don't have bones in them.

I have just modified one external link on Futurist cooking. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
- Caffé espresso was first introduced during this period in order to make the consumption of coffee quicker, and to minimize opportunities for political discussion.
- The first espresso coffee maker, the Moka Express, was created and marketed by Alfonso Bialetti in 1933, and benefited from Futurist advertising and publicity.
For two reasons: first, they conflate espresso machines with home espresso machines. It is not clear what is meant by "this period" in the above, but espresso was introduced decades before fascism, and before futurism. Bialetti's Moka was the first home espresso maker, not the first espresso maker. Second, I did not find support in the referenced article (Schnapp 2001) to the statements made above: to the fact that espresso was introduced to minimize political discussion, or that Bialetti benefitted from futurist advertising. Schnapp does mention that Marinetti called himself the caffeine of Europe, so I kept that statement and reference. - FlorentinaBizzaria (talk) 17:21, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
